What are operating systems?

Operating systems are mainly a collection of setup files, which needs to be installed in a computer to run it efficiently. When we buy any new desktops or laptops, the first thing we need to do is to install an operating system immediately in it, according to your requirements. Operating systems are generally installed in C drive as it suits well with the other program files. It can also be installed in other disk drives. But we recommended installing it in C drive for better results.

Why we need operating systems?

There are several drivers like audio drivers, VGA drivers, and USB drivers to get efficient output from the computer. We may need to install application software, programming software, antivirus software, etc and we cannot install the software without installing the operating system. Windows® can’t boot any operating system installed in it. Even if we want to use a calculator, we can’t use that without installing the operating system. So the operating system is the most essential application for any desktop, computer or laptop. Several operating systems are compatible with some specific laptops or computers.
